Last time i checked, a Prius costs about $21,000 (US, that is). It shouldn't be that much higher up there.

Do many people use the HOV lanes on the 400-highways? Are they frequently violated (like the lanes in downtown)? And as for 25 years, wasn't Spadina and Queen's Quay added about 10 years ago? (not to mention St. Clair)

^GO Transit would be the best way to travel across the GTA.

Is Markham the only municipality that has new urbanism, with Cornell and this, or am I missing some (or many)? It would be a shame to convert the cathedral to a big-box store, nor do I really see how that's possible. If anything, the Loblaws should just consume normal ground-level retail space.

Cincinnati's amount of parking is ridiculously high . . . just look at this map! (this is off-street public parking only, in addition to normal on-street parking on both sides of every street). As for costs, many places are free on weekends or Sundays and otherwise run in the $0.50 per hour...

Come to Toronto (only about an hour from Buffalo), a barren arctic wasteland where polar bears roam the empty plains! . . . provided you take the flight to Churchill, MB

It's 1984! . . . then again, they don't have cameras in your home.

TTC shunts streetcar plan article `Hostile' reaction prompts change to original proposal for King St., but few pleased with new plan May 02, 2007 04:30 AM Paul Moloney city hall bureau Bowing to opposition, the Toronto Transit Commission has moved its proposed King St. streetcar...

It's been said before, but I'll say it again (because some people obviously haven't heard). If they cancel the Spadina extension to try to spend the same money on transit city, both York Region and Ottawa will withdraw their funding, and possibly Queen's Park because its location is one of the...

Actually, Nuclear power is much 'greener' than the other main forms of energy. It is MUCH more efficient than wind power, although i'm not sure how efficient hydro is. And without a doubt, Nuclear is cleaner than coal or oil powered hydro plants.

How wide are these roads we speak of going to be? If it's a 2-lane ave becoming a 6-lane ave+hov, I don't have a problem with it (but only because it's the norm). But if it's the VIVA-style 6+2 lane configuration... :mad:

They probably also do it so politicians can buy "grey" full-size SUVs and say that they're going 'green'.

I've always wondered why Ontario highways have such extravagant exits in rural areas. Even if there's maybe 10 cars a minute on the highway and 2 cars an hour on the exit road, they have a huge half-clover intersection with enormous acceleration and deceleration lanes. Acceleration I can accept...

Companies really mess with peoples' minds sometimes when they claim to be going green. I mean seriously, a 'green' car? (that's more like a gray car as opposed to a black one). Hydrogen fuel is a ripoff too. "GM has developed a car that released only water as emissions [but the fuel that it runs...

I think the only type of cargo feasible for trams is cargo (as opposed to trash). All they would need to do is build tracks into the loading areas of buildings that require lots of shipments and run trams on them, possibly shipping them to freight railways.

I don't think any of this will work; as soon as someone promotes a new system ("hey, let's use formula blablabla which puts Chicago 10% in front of Toronto"), someone else will change a few numbers and put Chicago...as far ahead as it is now in Emporis. So it's not really quantitative, because...

Do many cities have problems with illegal advertising, or is it just Toronto? If so, is there any precedent for 1. selecting such a company for street furniture and 2. using their illegal signs as leverage against them in the contract?

The distance from about Edmonton to Calgary is about 280km, while the distance from Hamilton to Montreal (via TO and Ottawa) is about 560km. At the same price (which it probably won't be because of land costs) that would be "anywhere from $12 billion to $24 billion" while serving a population of...

The only doubts I have about this project is that the streetwall is on the Donway and Lawrence, but not Don Mills itself, the actual corridor that it *should* streetwall-ize
